US ambassador Robert Godec, has come out following claims that NASA lawyers had secret meetings with Supreme Court judges and documents were being exchanged saying it could endanger the lives of citizens.
"Kenya has witnessed an upsurge in troubling fake news, hate speech, and ethnic profiling. While we support freedom of speech, baseless attacks and lies must stop," Godec said in a statement.
He went on to ask leaders to work together to help put an to hate speech in an effort adhere to the Kenyan constitution.
"They should ensure the safety of those wrongly attacked including members of our own mission. A successful poll will require goodwill and flexibility from leaders and citizens alike. Politics must not be a matter of life or death," he said.
